In typical fashion, NoCode has the wisdom of Solomon. Earned, no doubt, in the school of hard knocks. Whatever. But his analysis is spot-on. Well put, NC.

The bottom line is that his reaction was driven by his insecurity. He feels (or felt) insecure has a husband, and now he is feeling insecure has a father. "Who is this guy, and what if the girls like him better than me?"

I am wondering how typical this behavior is... How "normal" is it for the WAS to come unglued when the LBS moves on? Hmmm....
